Question

So, is it possible in Portugal to grant city status to a part of a municipality? Jameswilson 23:35, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:Possibly. It depends on whether "municipality" means the same in their language as it does in ours. I'll have to check on that. John Carter (talk) 02:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

::Yes, it is possible, municipality in Portugal mean ssomething like a county, therefore, if there is a specific locality in that country, other than the head-city of the municipality, that fits the Portuguese criteria for a city, it may be elevated to the status of one, if if not going on to became a new head-city for a new municipality (which sometimes occurs).
